Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:02:33 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-49579No self respecting hockey fan can look at what Keith did and believe it was justified. Only Hawks fans could and that just means they don’t really care about the game, just their team.

The same goes for the Bruins and Marchand’s hit on Salo.

It’s interesting that both incidents involved the Canucks, would these so called fans try so hard to justify these plays if it were another team? Probably not. Once again proving they are simply team fans (and Canuck haters) and not fans of the game.

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:38:21 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48307@davebabych I figured I’d just make that clear, sacasm is often lost on the masses.

@luke35 If you don’t like Daniel’s hit, then perhaps you’d like to comment on this one:

Do you remember if there was a penalty or suspension on that play? For the record, I didn’t like it (I think hits should come down, including Daniel’s) but the NHL has said it’s ok so why the concern when it’s one of the ‘sisters’, who couldn’t possibly do much damage since they’re so weak and small.

That was back before hockey was ‘pussified’ as some people are claiming it is now with all the rules against illegal hits and penalties and suspensions and such. There are still people saying Keith’s hit was within the rules since it was expected and a part of the game as a result of getting hit first, contrary to your statement.

BTW, Duncan Keith is the same size as Bieksa, and a good Canadian kid, so he should be able to hold his own, right? How about Daniel as compared to the Bollig and Seabrook? he gives up and inch or two in height, but 30+ pounds on each of them. I guess he had to skate pretty fast to get away from those guys when they came after him for hitting Keith, right? No? Maybe Shaw could have caught him since he’s in the same weight class at least, but I guess he didn’t think to do it either.

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:38:28 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48164Keith is no Samuelsson, but at the same time, with all we know now about head injuries, a direct elbow to the face is pretty similar to Ulfie targeting someone’s knee. It can end careers, and should be prevented. If it was Toews or Kane on the receiving end, I’m guessing most Hawk fans would agree.

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 15:29:32 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48141elvispocomo – definitely sarcasm.

luke35 – if you think Sedin’s hit on Keith was anywhere near as bad as elbowing a guy in the chops when neither player has even a shot at getting to the puck then you need to either take off the homer glasses or learn a bit about the game before running your mouth. I don’t think anyone has said that Sedin’s hit was squeaky clean but that kind of hit happens hundreds of times a season with zero fanfare at all. The type of hit Keith delivered happens maybe two or three times in a bad year.

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:42:04 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48118Yeah it sure is frustrating when you see an opponent take cheap shots and chirp all game and then run away when held accountable. All the Bruins fans know exactly how you Vancouver fans feel.

And only a Nucks fan would term Sedin allowing Marchand to speed bag his head as “having balls”

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 09:54:39 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48102…and no ones saying Keith is a dirty player to be compared to Samuelsson , he’s a stud no question about it, but it does my head in that people (because of blatant bias) are tryn to spin this one.

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 09:34:25 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48100So a fan base that revels and takes any chance it can to cut down the Vancouver Canucks (and their fan base) as dirty, cheap, and classless gets confronted by a clear and undeniable dirty play … and somehow turns it around as if it’s nothing to be concerned about, and you try and pretend WE’RE comin off a high horse here!?

Honest to God man ..give your head a shake.

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 06:50:18 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48092I grew up on the Battle of Alberta. Those were rough and tough games. But you didn’t see a lot of players trying to deliberately injure each other. Play hard, play tough but show respect. There was universal disgust for players like Ulfie Samuelsson targeting player’s knees.

What’s the big difference between Samuelsson targeting a knee and Keith targeting Sedin’s face? Not much in my opinion. Both had a deliberate attempt to injure. So if you’re going back to old-time hockey, there was also some degree of respect, because those other players were trying to put food on the table. It’s why people hated Bertuzzi’s cheapshot, McSorley’s cheapshot, etc. That’s my two cents.

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 05:57:56 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48083Are you honestly trying to say sedin’s hit wasn’t a blatant headshot? And if your talking about being nowhere near the puck you might puck you might want to watch sedin’s hit again. Suprise, it was nowhere near the puck. Your “fact” is more like a supremely biased opinion.

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 05:46:28 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48081The funny thing about this is there’s not a single hawks fan that says it wasn’t a cheap hit by Keith. But none of the bucks fans can admit that the blindside headshot by adding was just as bad. If keith was injured by that which was a real possibility, would you be suprised if Daniel wouldn’t fight bollig, Seabrook or shaw? Talk about of total lack of objectivity coming from western Canada.

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 05:37:13 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48076What a mindless comment for many so reasons. Number one, the hit was a retaliation for the late hit define put on Keith about 6 mins earlier (that targeted his head). Second, of course Bieska would step up against Keith, Bieksa is always ok with fighting someone smallest than him. Third, of course Kassian would too, fighting is the only thing that duster is good for. Fourth, Keith actually tried to fight burrows, but lil Alex kept skating backwards because he couldn’t grab shops of keiths hair. As far as standing up and facing the music, Daniel’s initial hit was the reason he heard the sound of his own bell getting rung.

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 01:56:43 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48032I wonder if Konroyd ever had to stand up for himself and fight after an illegal elbow to the head, or if he ran and hid after he “exacted his revenge.”

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 01:48:01 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48025@cableguymike: 9 games in suspensions this season with more to come.

Oh wait, I thought you said Chicago, nevermind. The Canucks have 0 games this season.😉

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 01:40:21 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48020I hope that was sarcasm, since you know well enough a ‘useless goon’ couldn’t have forced Keith to man up and fight. Bieksa was certainly willing, as was Kassian and Burrows would have even gone with him, but Keith backed out at every opportunity.

For those of you talking bout how they miss the old days of hockey, Keith would have stood up for himself after a hit like that and faced the music. I guess it’s the new NHL’s fault that players won’t do that anymore, eh?

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 01:14:54 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=132921#comment-48015If a dicey hit by Sedin earned a blatant headshot from Keith, what does the blatant headshot earn? If we’re going with “law of disproportionate payback” to justify Keith’s hit, you’re making it sound like a stick to the mouth would be fair recompense for him at this point. Funny thing about eye for an eye logic is that it doesn’t really END anywhere, something you may wish to consider in the future. Keith threw a spectacular cheapshot on a player nowhere near the puck. You know what the difference between that fact and yours is? Mine actually is one.
